Is it just me or do Nahir and Palo look like walking stereotypes? For a start, tall and thin versus short and, erm, well-rounded. Then there’s the outfits, including what appears to be a tassel-less tiny red fez…

I really like this comic for a couple of reasons: first of all, it’s the first time we see Sandril’s father, and get to understand why the son dislikes the parent. However, we also estabilish that Sandril REALLY is the spoiled kid we were lead to believe he is (Nahir and Palo’s reaction, or lack thereof, seems to imply getting shouted at is something they are used to. Last but not least, we get more names to speculate about! I have the feeling that gumium is some sort of mineral.

@ Silly Name:
Actually, I have a feeling that that is Sandril yelling at Nahir and Palo. I think that list is the same one we saw in the last page. In regards to character design, I think one is poking fun at Nintendo’s “Triforce of Courage Hero.”

Sending out henchman of questionable confidence to buy components for the super secret plot. There is absolutely no Chance this may go wrong. Or at least leave people who know too much when the guard starts asking questions when the jailbreak has happened.
Unless of corse he plans to dispose of them after the Shopping.

actually. Considering these are servants of a wealthy house, the yelling may in fact be more discreet then hushed whispers. Especially since they had guests of dubious virtue. It’s what nobles did, they yelled and browbeat and the like to maintain a certain level of ‘supperiority’ over the lessers. It would certainly draw less attention to be seen plotting in hushed tones with them.

@ PMark:
Coming to think of it, Lilith and Sandril never did anything implying a real relationship (at least not on screen). Hell, Lilith created an image of Ilias to comfort herself, rather than one of Sandril.
Personally, it looks like Lilith is unaware Sandril is her boyfriend.

@ Silly Name:
I’m pretty sure she conjured an hologram of Sandril, not Ilias. And he IS her boyfriend, that was already stated even by Novil in the past.
She is not unaware. lol It simply isn’t explicitly shown to us, for obvious reasons rather.

Uh, it always looked like Ilias to me, but looking at it more carefully, it does seems to Sandril. My bad.

@HoneyBee: I know Sandril and Lilith are a couple by Word of God, but, even for the little time they spent together, they acted more like simple friends rather than a couple of lovers. It just seems… forced, to me. Like there’s no ‘spark’ between the two. We know they are a couple, and so does everyone in-universe, but their romantic relationship kind of finish there, with people acknowledging they date eachother.

No offense meant to Novil, of course. This is just my personal opinion, and we may getting Sandril and Lilith acting more like a couple later.

…wow, it sure is hard to come back to reading normal comic after long manga… this comic makes so little sense when read from right to left, really…

And hey, just who that girl is? Ilias is so going to be surprised…
Oh, and Sandril’s a jerk. If shouting at the servants like that is his normal behavior that he’s imitating to not draw suspicions, I really dislike him )=

@ Silly Name:
You are right. There really hasn’t been that much romance in Gaia so far other than seeing Ilias pining for his unrequited love for Lilith. Sure, there has been some shipping between Ilias and Viviana, but I certainly wouldn’t call it romance.

But then, consider the plot line. We were barely introduced to Lilith before she was attacked, hauled off to prison and condemned to death. No one has had any time for romance.

Honestly I’m just glad to see Sandril actually doing something, even if it’s just yelling at his servants. Ilias is running around playing magic-ninja-spy, but Sandril? He’s been so quiet, all he’s done is chat with Faye. Even that other guy got to have a fight with his fiance.

And this is the guy that gentle, kind and caring Lilith is in love with?

To be fair to Sandril, he did just see his father walking through the halls with a pair of women fawning over him. Taking it out on his servants isn’t the best way to do things, but a momentary lapse of good judgement isn’t exactly out of step. Plus, by all accounts other than having family issues and not particularly caring for the guy that’s constantly drooling over his girlfriend, (unfortunately what we see most out of him thus far) he seems to be a pretty decent guy.
